Published in 2002, it is clear that Field Trips: Bug Hunting, Animal Tracking, Bird-Watching, Shore Walking has taken the informational content of the Jim Arnosky's Nature Notebooks series, published in 1997 - Bug Hunter, Animal Tracker, Bird Watcher, and Shore Walker - and combined it in a slightly edited and enhanced format. The notebooks were more than half blank, to provide young nature watchers a place to record their findings, whereas this title is not intended to be used in that way, simply presenting the information about each of the four subjects, together with Arnosky's detailed artwork and diagrams, and advising the reader to provide themselves with a separate notebook of their own. Still, having read two of the notebooks - Bug Hunter and Animal Tracker - and compared them to this title, it is clear that the majority of both text and illustration here are taken from these earlier titles. Given that this is so, I was very surprised to see no acknowledgement of this fact, in an author's foreword or afterword, in the dust-jacket blurb, or even on the book's colophon. I suppose that, since it is the author's own work, it isn't technically necessary, but I've never seen such an overt reworking as this, that didn't reference the earlier work. Leaving that issue aside, this is an informative and engaging title, and is one I would recommend to young animal and nature lovers, particularly those eager to get out into the world and see what they can see.
